Gidwani's
Return of Aryans has also many other gripping
tales about Sind and Sindhis- their battles and
romance, adventures and exploits, valor and sacrifice,
art and culture, well before the dawn of recorded
history. It shows clearly:
- That
Sind, along with Bharat Varsha, is the most
ancient civilization in the world- more ancient
than China,Japan, Mesopotamia, Iran and Egypt.
- That
Sind and Bharat Varsha were there before Rome
was built, and before Jerusalem, Carthage, Greece,Damascus
and Istanbul were founded.
- When
Europeans lived in caves, our people along Sindhu
river had two story houses of brick and stone, with
drainage system, public parks, public baths,
art-works, fountains and granaries.
- Along
the banks of Sindhu, our Sindhi ancestors founded
the ancient order of Sanatanah, before 8,000
BC, and from this root of Sanatanah sprang
Sanatana Dharma - the ageless religion of the
Hindus.
- Among
ideals that took shape in those early times,
to become the foundation of Sanatana Dharma,
were: recognition of spiritual nature
of man wherever he is from; acceptance of every
culture as an expression of eternal values;
and man's obligation to respect and protect
environment, and all creatures, tame and wild.
Bharat
Varsha and its frontiers : Clearly, Gidwani's
'Return of the Aryans' is not exclusively devoted
to the glory and greatness of Sind. It presents
also the story of India as a whole, and of the
birth and beginnings of Hinduism. It speaks glowingly,
lovingly of the Ganga, Madhya, Bangla, Dravidian
and other civilizations of India as well and shows
that they too had much to teach, as also to learn
from the people of Sindhu in regard to the marvels
of irrigation, engineering skill, broad streets,
well built houses, elegant temples, chariots,
drainage systems, granaries, boats, gardens, baths
and fountains and more so in the field of art
culture and aesthetics.
